This blog discusses the art of writing and marketing books as an indie author. Spirit science is a big proponent and the author has written many books for both adults and children dealing with this subject matter.

So what's it mean to have tyrannical Trump in the Whitehouse for all of us indie authors trying to push our books north and south of the borders? Will he really follow through with his threats and break down NAFTA? Does that even matter to an indie author? Could it? What does Free Trade mean for an indie or self-published author? Let's lay it out. I'm Canadian, but I use Createspace to build out my books, print them, and it's where I order them from. Createspace is an American company. So what? How does Free Trade affect me? Am I going to pay more for shipping? No. At least I hope not! I ordered 25 books the other day and the shipping more then doubled the cost and then I had to pay the courier for the border BS. I'm rethinking the whole thing now. But what does Trump promising to stomp on NAFTA mean for me?

Is it all fear mongering? Surely that's how he won the election. But his fear mongering has divided the people of the United States. If you're going to use fear mongering; let's put everyone behind a single cause: the environment. This is something to fear. But now the self proclaimed climate change denier is going to ramp up manufacturing and fracking and drilling and just fuck the whole country up while putting a few dollars in the average American's pockets, and filling swimming pools with money for the elite. Not sure how I got onto this rant, but there it is. I hope I've answered the question. :)

About Me

First of all, you can't pronounce my last name, so don't waste your time there. Many have tried, they have all failed.

I've managed the marketing departments of several materials handling manufacturing companies and continue to do so today with great zeal! I enjoy bringing marketing into the world of manufacturing and leading the way with social and web technologies to offer a better footing in the online market.

I am also an author - With an interest in the paranormal as well as science, I've found my niche in developing stories which both instill a sense of wonder in the spiritual world while often referencing science and its hard fought principles as the paranormal’s greatest advocate. This mixing of strange bedfellows excites and encourages me, researching both seemingly opposing worlds, finding their common bonds, stitching them together and telling a unique tale.

Born in Toronto, Ontario, I earned my diploma in Interpretive Illustration and began a career in the field while educating myself on the art of writing. I have authored several books and am self-published and self-marketed. I now offer my experience in traditional and on-line marketing to businesses and authors alike..
